BORN TO BE ALONE by Dieter Hoffmann (dieter_hoffmann@yahoo.com) I grew up down in the valley spent my time walking around Met some girls there in the alleys never knowing where they were bound I tried to reach them but I couldn't get in touch and from this pain I suffered too much My classmates at school they didn't treat me right they looked for trouble I ran from the fight I used to be peaceful and still I am so hear what I'm saying again and again I was born to be alone (born to be alone) I was born to be alone (born to be alone) Don't wonder why I prefer staying on my own Born to be alone (born to be alone) I spend my days lying in my bed wasting my time that's what they say I write my poems I write my songs and I think I know just where it comes from I was born to be alone (born to be alone) I was born to be alone (born to be alone) Don't wonder why I prefer staying on my own Born to be alone Sometimes I went out and I looked around unhappy people that's what I found People who try to be someone else to please other people are not quite theirselves I was born to be alone (born to be alone) I was born to be alone (born to be alone) Don't wonder why I prefer staying on my own Born to be alone (born to be alone) I was born to be alone (born to be alone) I was born to be alone (born to be alone) Don't wonder why I prefer staying on my own Born to be alone
